Chapter 0051 - Signing with Nike (Plus More, Ask for Subscription!)
While the whole of Europe is reporting that Tang Zheng won the European Golden Boy Award, the Chinese media are not idle in China, and they even blew Tang Zheng to a level with Messi, who won the European Golden Ball Award this year, to the point of madness, but considering the situation of Chinese football in recent years, it is understandable that the media are crazy. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
People need faith.
The same goes for football!
China is the country with the richest fan base in the world, but they don't have a good player, so Tang Zheng, who just won the European Golden Boy Award, filled this regret.
From the moment Tang Zheng won the title of the European Golden Boy Award, every Chinese can puff up his chest in any corner of the world.
This performance is particularly evident in Chinese students studying abroad.
With the overwhelming coverage of the domestic media, Tang Zheng's reputation in China is unprecedentedly strong, and his meager +v account has changed from hundreds of thousands before to millions now, an increase of more than ten times.
In addition, Chen Jia, who has become Tang Zheng's business broker, now receives countless calls every day, and the owners of these calls are all well-known enterprises ranked at home and abroad, which means that these companies are lining up to send money to Tang Zheng.
fame and fortune are the current Tang Zheng.
However, Tang Zheng's attention is still on the 17th round of the 2009-2010 Bundesliga season at home to Freiburg, before the game he learned that the visitors had a South Korean international Che Dury, so he wanted to do something more, but to his dismay was that less than ten minutes into the game, he was substituted due to injury......
Westphalic Lun had a frenetic atmosphere as usual, and every fan in attendance was making a splash with their lives.
Now, as Tang Zheng has gained a foothold in Dortmund and been recognized, many overseas Chinese and international students in cities around Dortmund will choose to come to Westfalfa Stadium to cheer for Tang Zheng, so red five-star red flags can often be seen flying high in Westfax in the broadcast camera.
In this game, in order to be able to have a pleasant holiday for nearly a month, everyone is trying their best to perform well in this game and win the opponent.
Tang Zheng is even more so, he has just won the European Golden Boy Award and must prove himself!
But what is frustrating is that Tang Zheng's newly crowned glory has made him Freiburg's most concerned Dortmund player, and his space on the field has been very compressed.
When the whistle blew at the end of the first half, the score was 0:1
The home team is in the front, the away team is in the back.
Everyone thought that Dortmund, who were playing at home, would easily win Freiburg at home, but from the past 45 minutes, the visiting Freiburg lead has a certain point.
In the second half, Yibian fought again, and Tang Zheng increased the range of running.
I don't know if it was Tang Zheng's active running that caused the Freiburg players to lack concentration, in short, their marking density of Tang Zheng was no longer as tight as in the first half, and his space for movement gradually increased.
Unfortunately, however, he didn't seem to have the luck to score today, first with a corner kick tipped the ball over the crossbar, and then a sudden cold arrow from the edge of the box grazed the outside of the post and crashed into the billboard.
Yang 5 commentator Duan Huo smiled bitterly when Tang Zheng missed the equalizer: "The European Golden Boy Award seems to have used up all Tang Zheng's luck in 2009......"
Next, Klopp showed two substitutions in a row, but the effect was not obvious.
Vice-captains Kyle and Shahin are in a bit of a slump, and only Tang Zheng runs tirelessly like a perpetual motion machine to create opportunities.
Until full-time, Jurgen Klopp opted for Götze to come off the bench with almost no one available.
Perhaps he and Tang Zheng have a natural tacit understanding, and the two have played many exquisite cooperation without much running-in.
In stoppage time, it was Gotze and Tang Zheng who played a 'two-by-one' in a row at the front of the penalty area, and Tang Zheng was able to take the ball and cut into the penalty area.
Immediately, the sky over Westfal Stadium ignited a long-lost passion.
Tang Zheng, who entered the penalty area, was very calm, he first leaned on the returning central defender with his body, and then shot low from the right side of the penalty spot, and the ball ran through the goalkeeper Poplin's goal and rolled into the goal......
Dortmund, who are playing at home, drew 1:1 with Freiburg thanks to Tang Zheng's goal in stoppage time.
In the other three games played at the same time, Bayer Leverkusen, Werder Bremen and Bayern Munich and Schalke 04 defeated their opponents respectively, Dortmund retreated to fifth place in the league with two points of draws, and Bayer Leverkusen became the league champions with an unbeaten record of 12 wins, 5 draws and 41 points in 17 rounds.
Although Dortmund did not win their last league game before the winter break, the fans did not express any dissatisfaction, the team has suffered a large number of injuries in the past two months, and it is already very good to be able to bite the first group in the standings, and it is much better than the same period last season, so Dortmund fans can also have a happy Christmas.
※※※
With the end of this round of the league, the Bundesliga officially announced that it has entered a one-month winter break, and the 18th round of the league will officially start on January 18 next year.
Originally, Tang Zheng thought that this winter would be very idle, so he applied for the exam at a driving school in Dortmund early.
He was able to keep an eye on the competition, and the same was true for the driving school exam, where he passed the theory test after a day of rote memorization.
Next, the German test is different from the driving test in other countries, and the students who get the driver's license must receive training related to emergency assistance, but at this time, he received a call from Chen Jia, a business agent.
It turned out that someone sent money to the door, and four international sports brands all wanted to sign a contract with him.
They are Adidas, Nike, Puma and Capa.
Needless to say, Adidas and Nike are the top brands in the sports sector.
They are the sports equipment sponsors of most sports on the planet, and as long as they are well-known athletes, they are basically contracted athletes of these two sports brands.
Tang Zheng doesn't know much about Puma, only that this sports brand is a brother with Adidas.
He understands that Kappa originated in China, and everyone called it back-to-back when he was studying, in fact, the Chinese translation is called Kappa, and it is now Dortmund's jersey sponsor.
In terms of fame, Adidas and Nike are undoubtedly the best, Puma and Kappa are much inferior in terms of fame, and the prices offered are also shabby, so these two sports brands are automatically ignored.
Tang Zheng, who just won the European Golden Boy Award, is very much in line with the signing standards of Adidas and Nike.
In the past six European Golden Boy Award winners, Nike's signed stars occupy the majority, such as Van der Vaart, Rooney and Anderson, Adidas may not be as good as Nike in quantity, but the quality is better, Messi, who has just won the European Golden Ball Award, is Adidas's signed star, and Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas is also Adidas's star.
Considering the huge Chinese market behind Tang Zheng, the giants of these two sports brands are determined to win Tang Zheng.
Adidas, headquartered in Germany, hopes to sign Tang Zheng, and the current sports equipment sponsor of the Chinese men's football team is Adidas.
So Adidas, who has a big business, is full of confidence, so that the attitude is a little arrogant, they offer a price of one million euros a year, sign a contract for five years, and automatically increase by 15% per year, and even promise to help Tang Zheng persuade the Chinese Football Association to let him return to the national team.
The conditions were opened, and psychological warfare was played later, and now there is Messi, the European Golden Ball Award signboard, and I am not afraid that Tang Zheng will not sign.
However, what they didn't expect was that Nike was full of sincerity, except for not promising Tang Zheng to return to the national team, the other conditions were to crush Adidas, and the tax posthumous fee was 1.5 million euros per year, and it would rise by 20% per year, and the two sides signed a contract for three years.
In addition, Younan McLaughlin, vice president of Nike Europe, personally came to the door, and Corporal Lixian was very surprised.
In terms of additional conditions, Nike also agreed to Tang Zheng's global promotion.
In other words, as long as the two parties finally sign the contract, Tang Zheng will have the opportunity to participate in the important commercial film shot by Nike, and he will shoot the commercial with top stars such as Cristiano Ronaldo, Wayne Rooney, Ribery and Ibrahimovic.
Even in China and the Asia-Pacific region, he will be promoted as Nike's number one star.
So Tang Zheng didn't hesitate under Chen Jia's analysis, and nodded directly.
On the evening of the 21st, Tang Zheng and Younan McLaughlin, vice president of Europe, boarded a flight to Portland International Airport in the United States at Munich International Airport.
After nearly a day of flying, it was already the evening of the 22nd when they arrived in Portland, and Chen Jia and Nike Commercial Commissioner Sarah Isabella were waiting at the international exit of the airport early.
Sarah Isabella seems to be a refined strong woman, and according to simple understanding, Tang Zheng knows that she is of Latino descent, and like Chen Jia, she is a language genius, fluent in German and Spanish, and can even speak a few words of classic Chinese.
Chen Jia was already responsible for negotiating the specific terms of the contract with Nike yesterday.
In terms of the details of the contract, Chen Jia explained to Tang Zheng when he checked into the five-star hotel prepared by Nike, but Tang Zheng trusted her very much, and yawned before listening to the explanation of the relevant legal provisions, and found a reason to go back to his room to adjust the jet lag.
Nearly a day's flight is also very taxing on the body.
The next morning, the four of them had breakfast at the hotel before driving to Nike's headquarters in the Portland suburb of Beaverton.
The car drove on the highway, and along the way there were Nike's towering advertising stands, which were very conspicuous.
An hour later, the car arrived at Nike's headquarters.
Since the two parties no longer have any objections to the contract, all that remains is for Tang Zheng to sign the contract in triplicate.
Therefore, Tang Zheng, accompanied by Younan McLaughlin, vice president of Nike Europe, went directly to the conference room of the McEnroe Building, which is very modern in the United States.
Witnessed by Chinese and foreign reporters specially invited by Nike, Tang Zheng signed his name.
This was followed by an exchange of contracts between the two parties and the signing of the contract again.
In this regard, Nike announced that Tang Zheng has become another signed player under their umbrella.
